NFL.com mock draft: Panthers trade up for Reuben Bain

[PootieNunu]

We have to sort out LT this offseason. We cant go into the 2027 draft needing a LT when we will probably be ready to upgrade the QB position.

this draft is not good at the top but is quality in the middle. I see us more likely to trade back then up

also Bain may not even be an edge at the next level

I really don't want to see Morgan doing any trading up in the first two rounds. It has not been a pretty picture.

I'm not concerned about trades- as long as they have conviction for the player they are acquiring.

Let's leave that word in the Scott Fitterer era.

I generally hate the idea of ever trading up in the first 2-3 rounds.

Screw the 2027 2nd.

I can deal with it for the right cost, it would need to be a handful of slots. 2-3 slots and that’s from where we are now. Or lower. 
Cost wise trading from 33-32 wasn’t that bad. Going up to take Brooks wasn’t that bad. Cost wise. 
Not talking about the players involved just cost of doing the deal. You have to be right, whatever the cost or it is a fail. 

[Bear Hands]

It depends but he’s an appealing guy for our needs and one of only a few pass rushers with 3 down skills in this draft.

Bain is largely considered one of the "stand up citizens" type players. Likely a zero problems issue and a great talent but thats a wild price to pay for a guy. I have no doubt hes a long term plus starter in the NFL based on his coaching and attitude. We almost got him at Auburn with coach Roc Bellantoni. Glad he went to Miami though, Jason Taylor as a coach? Yes, please.
